Working principle of lifting machinery

Hoisting machinery is designed to lift, move, and lower heavy loads using a lifting hook or similar device. The typical operation involves several key steps: lifting the load from its initial position, moving it horizontally through running, rotating, or luffing mechanisms, then lowering it at the designated location and returning to the starting point. This process ensures efficient material handling in various industrial and construction environments.

Drive Unit

The drive unit serves as the power source for the crane's working mechanisms. Common types of drive systems include electric, internal combustion engine, and manual drives. Electric drives are widely used in modern cranes due to their efficiency, cleanliness, and ease of control. Most cranes that operate within a fixed area—such as rail-mounted cranes, elevators, and hoists—are powered by electricity. For mobile cranes that travel over long distances—like truck cranes, tire cranes, and crawler cranes—internal combustion engines are more common. Manual drives, although less powerful, are suitable for small-scale lifting equipment and often serve as backup or emergency power sources in critical situations.

Working Mechanisms

Cranes typically consist of four main working mechanisms: the hoisting mechanism, the traveling mechanism, the luffing mechanism, and the slewing mechanism. These components work together to ensure smooth and safe operation.

(1) The hoisting mechanism is responsible for lifting and lowering materials vertically. It is the most fundamental part of any crane and plays a crucial role in all lifting operations.

(2) The traveling mechanism enables the crane or lifting trolley to move along a track or on wheels. It can be either self-propelled or towed, depending on the design and application.

(3) The luffing mechanism is specific to boom-type cranes. It allows the boom to change its angle and length, which helps adjust the working radius and improve operational flexibility.

(4) The slewing mechanism allows the boom to rotate around the vertical axis of the crane, enabling the movement of loads in a circular path. This mechanism is essential for positioning the load precisely and efficiently.
